The school’s mission is to identify and fully develop the natural talents and potential of each individual pupil and to prepare them for a full, happy, healthy, active and productive life. The school seeks to achieve this within the context of the culture, ethics and values of the Christian faith emphasising those strong moral and spiritual tenets shared with other faiths.
Ethos and Aims
We aim:
- To ensure the welfare and safety of our pupils
- To provide our pupils with knowledge and experience appropriate to their age
- To teach skills of literacy and numeracy to the highest possible standard
- To teach those cultural skills which enable pupils to develop knowledge and understanding of the world, its peoples and cultures, both past and present
- To develop and enhance pupils’ knowledge of the environment and thereby foster an awareness of the need to conserve and care for its resources
- To develop the desire and ability to contribute to the community at large, respecting and appreciating others for their differences and beliefs, with particular reference to British values
- To develop confidence in themselves to lead healthy, active and independent lives.
- To gain transferrable skills across a broad and relevant curriculum in order to develop independent thought and the ability to communicate effectively
- To develop an appreciation of art, drama, music and sport by providing opportunities for participation
- To provide opportunities for engaging in the democratic process and participating in community life
How is this achieved?
- By having policies and procedures that produce a happy and safe environment, giving a sense of security with consistent expectations within an organised structure
- By giving the pupils high yet realistic targets, within an ethos of individual excellence
- By creating a caring atmosphere where pupils are confident that their individual needs will be respected and considered
- By providing a broad and stimulating curriculum delivered by effective teaching

Golden ValuesWe believe that, in order to enable effective teaching and learning to take place, good behaviour in all aspects of school life is paramount. This applies to all staff and pupils at the School, including those in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Our Golden Values underpin life at the School and we aim to promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect by the whole school community. |
Core Learning SkillsWe recognise that pupils have diverse ways of learning, so we employ a variety of teaching methods to bring out the best in each pupil. Our broad, balanced and purposeful curriculum fosters core learning skills essential for success throughout a child’s academic and adult life. We hold high expectations for our pupils and support their development into becoming independent, adaptable and critical thinkers. |

Keeping Children Safe in Education
We have a duty to Keep Children Safe in Education. This responsibility necessitates a series of relevant policies that we adhere to, and we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare.
